I_shift

To make things short, I’ve shifted my blog to a better place - with more rooms, more control and of course more satisfaction in conjunction with the brand new 2008. Thank you all for dropping by my site all this while despite the crappy entries posted. I hope you will stay with me in the new place, that promises more comfort and ease and of course, more frequent updates of which I’m working hard on.

It’s here.

Don’t ask me why the name. I will probably tell in a post, if I want to… And the new home is the best X’mas and New Year present I got for myself.

 

Season’s Greeting

It’s been so long… with no updates at all.

I’ve been busy… and final exam is kicking off this very coming Saturday.

And this year, there’s no sing song project… but we still got the beautiful song playing. Simply download it here, and find out more about this song as well as which part I sang here. I’ve always been keeping this number in my laptop, and I just enjoyed it a lot! Bravo to other bloggers out there who made this song successful. May this Christmas continues to bring all of you plenty of beautiful joy, cheers and a bountiful of hope.

Until then… to all of you with lots of love.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The day has come

And yet… I am still feeling a little holdin’ back…

No matter how, all my bags are packed and I’m ready to go.

Another 90 minutes before the cab would pick me up…

And another 360 minutes before the flight departs…

I’ll be coming to you.

p/s: The kinky entry on the gatal minah tudung ketat would see you later when I get back from my five days off. Till then, stay kinky… ;P

 

Cry baby, cry!

People say
Love is blind

I say
Love is blind
But not the person

So open your eyes
And look

—

I once read
Do not cry for a man who doesn’t worth your tears
For the one who worth ‘em
Will never make you cry

I thought
Tears flow because you do love
And you do care
And at times
Tears flow because we see things better
Much better than how we used to
So
Cry for your realizations
And sensibility
For no longer trapped in the game of emotion
Shouldn’t you?

Things that were wondered all the time
May never have an answer
Holding on or letting go
Say and perhaps, end it all…

So cry baby, cry!

 

Oops… something’s coming up

Gone were the days of hectic and packed schedules in studies with that tensed up mind in most time… Finally everything is over.

I feel so much relieved to do the things I like to do… that I have more time and ‘mind allocation’ - heh. And most of all, I feel happy to hop in to st@r office regularly again, going here and there and come back with stories and pictures; and at times still enjoying working like a dog brewing the best cup of cappuccino or toasting the most presentable English muffin with smoked salmon…

I thought of writing something else, of which I came across way before when I was preparing studying somewhere for my final exam. It was a kinda kinky encounter I would say, heh. Kinky? Yeah kinky… And I thought of naming the encounter as “Minah tudung ketat dahagakan kote”. Now you wouldn’t say it doesn’t sound kinky, aight? No joke, it WAS the thing I came across some time back. It shall come up in the next post… when I get the time to write them out. Interesting. And I was sorta blown away… Just stay tuned. I’d be back.

I’m never lucky

It’s just farcically laughable… but I think am a person with bad karma… Never a lucky one to get any good deals or offer. Windfall is just a far cry from life. And often there will be obstacles for every attempt of reaching out…

It happened again. Almost during or right before every critical times in life, something would pop up and stood as a hindrance. It just keep stirring every psychological bit of you, till you have so much and that alot of stuffs on mind, that deadly trying to pull you off from the track you should be on.

I couldn’t help but striving hard to deal with every bit of it, telling myself there’s no way to afford such more hindrance at this time, because any mistakes in between would just cost! Be they time, effort, money and emotion. I can only tell myself to buckle up and continue walking without looking much to what’s on my left and right… Or else, I would fall hard. Real hard.

There were times I was just few dials away, but eventually the handset had to be put down. I couldn’t foresee what might come ahead from the other end, that might throw me into another swirl of emotion battle. There’s no reason to be pathetic right now, other than keeping my spirit high with plenty of facts and figures for the papers coming ahead.

Final exam… and music

It’s just the time of every trimester again – final exam. Been trying to slowly revising and biting some notes after I officially off from any form of work, be they brewing the best cup of cappuccino or going here and they and come back with stories.

As commonly said, it’s hard to get started. But once you do, you will most probably be fine after that. Sounds like what happens to my old car’s engine every time before it could go smoothly on the road… Heh

Time of burying my head to the notes and papers also means time for getting stuck in some good numbers whenever a breather is needed. Means? Well… the number will keep playing and playing and playing whenever I needed a time off from the books, or to go together along… And this time, I’m happy to announce, not one but two are in the list. And to top it up, managed to find them again somewhere from the net… Both of them were hits during the 80’s – the era when I was happily growing up.

Story on the fading sight of ‘yam coin’

She has just finished covering an evening function in Jonker Street. After bidding bye-bye to the photographer, she began to walk to her car, which was parked at another street nearby.

Suddenly, she got a tempting smell of live-cook ‘yam coin’ (算盘子) from a stall few steps ahead on her way. With a smile appeared on her face, she decided to follow her instinct…

Her: 老板娘，算盘子大的一份，打包。[Lady boss, one big portion of yam coin, take away please.]

Lady boss: 好，马上来。[Sure, right away.]

While the packet of yam coin was done and almost on its way to be handed to her…

Her: 老板娘对不起，我不要了。[I'm sorry lady boss, I don't want already.]

Lady boss: …… (looking at her speechless with the “why???” look on her face)

Her: 我忘了带钱包出来。[I forgot to bring my purse.]

With the fastest possible speed ever, she walked off with her ‘bengang’ face… heading to her car again.

“Damn it! Malu siol…” her heart spoken.

Sigh sigh sigh… why must the forgetfulness stroke when she finally got a by-chance opportunity to taste a Hakka delicacy that she’s been talking about all the while, ever since her last time of trying the food which were made by her beloved father more than n years ago…? Why happened when the stall was still selling the dish at that kinda hour although it used to be already-finished- long-time-ago. Why la…?

And yes, the Hakka girl in the end drove home immediately after the incident, without a single cent, without her IC and driving license… and without any yam coin obviously…

Me: Aww kesiannye… still work today?
Sayng: Ya la… worked. Feeling a bit dizzy here…
Me: Have you seen doctor? Got medicine?
Sayng: Yeah dah… and I’m going to have some rest after this…
Me: Hmm good. If feeling not well then don’t go for work la, just rest.
Sayng: Will see how then, I might get better… but now I feel pening… I want pao-pao, and kiss kiss…
Me: Ya la… Babe rest good okie I give you pao-pao and kiss kiss, and some light massage on your neck and shoulder yeah… then you will get well very soon…
Sayng: Mmmm… sedapnye sayang…
Me: Kate I manja… you lagi manja…
Sayng: I kan sakit… heh

What great sms or call could do to you…? It reminds me of something similar way back some time ago… and it’s still proven, that the power of technology is still standing tall in supplementing our expressions… no?

And again, a thousand miles away you can just offer anything… *_*
